OUR GREAT MEN.

Hawaii, country not long known
to the old world, since admitted to
the family Of civilised nations has
become distinguished member
thereof. This is due mainly to the
remarkable ability and energy of her
public and scmi-public men.
For years and years the country
moved along with dignified slowness
under the sedate leadership Of old
fogies, who attached undue import
ance to honesty, respectability, and
good name. They had no push,
and too much conscience. They
paid their way, and kept the country
out Of debt. They were behind
the times and the genius of the age.
Just the exact kind of old fossils
that gain the sympathy and receive
the appreciation of missionaries, men
of morality, gentlemen, and all that
kind of persons.
But how could the country 60
ahead and acquire notoriety under
the control of such men. Why, they
actually insisted upon paying state
debts when they became due, and
even refused to accept rebates for
their own personal benefit. Some of
them, after years in office, retired
with a smaller balance at their
bankers than when they began! If
the country had continued under the
government Of such men it would
certainly bave continued to move
slowly, would probably have re-
mained out of debt, and the distin-
guished fame which has produced so
many flaming articles in foreign
papers of late would never have
sounded Hawaii's praises abroad.
A period having arrived, however,
in the country's evolution when n
new and more advanced order of
things was impcratively demanded,
men up to the times and equal to
the emergency were found. 1t is a
familiar fact in history, that great
events or great emergencies create
great men, or bring men endowed
with the attributes of greatness into
prominence. This fact has been
signally excmplified in the recent
history Of this country. Great men
have arisen, or perhaps, more cor
rectly, great men have been created
or manufactured, who by great
exertions or great inertness have
elevated the country to the pinnacle
of greatness, which the Gilbert Isl
anders and Samoans may we'll view
from afar with envy. Statesmen
and ministers, legislators, soldiers,
and sailors, jews and gentiles,
natives and foreigners, poi-pounders
and shop-keepers, havea all ditinguish-
ed themselves in signal manner.
But, Of course, in the very front
rank of progress and astounding
achievements have stood ministers

WASHINGTON, December l3-Hon.
John ;. Barbour Senator Daniel, and
the Democratic members Of the Virginia
delegation in the House are going 10
urge the appointment Of Mr.. W. W.
Scott Of Virginia for the position Of APP
pointment Clerk of the Treasury, made
vacant by the resignation of Mr.. Higgins.
Mr.. Scott was the clerk to the House
committee on the District of Columbia
during Mr. Barbours last term If service
as chairman, and is highly regarded by
members outside as well as within his
delegation. 1t is thought quite likely
that he will get the appointment. He is
an active Democrat, but is said 10 have
a clean record in politics. which would
place him beyond the objections raised
against Mr.. Higgins by the Mugwumps.
